This day and age with a growing positive sentiment toward authoritarianism, anti intellectualism, and fascism, I think some punk would be good. A lot of punk, even.

In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the price of the average US home was $11,000.00

A Boomer could graduate high school and be living in their own place with no roommates with money they'd earned delivering newspapers.

This framing gets it wrong. It isn’t boomers vs. millennials. It isn’t immigrants vs. citizens. It’s ordinary people fighting over a shrinking share while an extraordinarily wealthy few accumulate more money, assets and political power than they could ever need. Stop turning class problems into generational wars. Tax extreme wealth.

True to form - Gen X getting skipped over in the discussion again.

This is not old versus young, plenty of old heads want what the younger gen wants.

This is class warfare. The Epstein class has been attacking the rest of us for ages with impunity. The first strike came from Senator Joe McCarthy in the 1950s.

I appreciate what AOC does in most respects, but this is a miss for her. We can’t afford this divisive messaging and she needs to be told this.

Accountability to the people for ALL politicians.

Just like the death of the Republican party, we've been hearing this too for a decade now.

Millennials will be the next biggest voting block! Gen Y is pissed and going to change everything in the voting landscape!

So far, not a god damn thing. I mean, we're not seeing record turn out outside of one single election and in the last election we even saw that millennials increased their voting share to Republicans.

They may be mad but they're the exact same morons as the rest of America.

I'm Xillenial. There is NO part of my life that has not been dominated by boomers. Even now, it's still the boomers running things. There Gen X didn't exist. Millennials only exist because they complained after being denied the dream.

She didn't say "boomers", fucking Fortune added that. And they reported this specifically to stir the bogus generational conflict.

AOC should not have mentioned generations at all, she's supposed to be uniting us against the billionaire class, and here she is quoted in a billionaire rag about this. I hope she does better, and soon.

We're also mad about the corruption, industrial scale pedophilia, and the land theft and genocide. Thats not going away. There needs to be paybacks. The guillotines arent for show. We have criminals to round up.

We may not be punk kids anymore but we’re definitely still punk.

...driven by anger over economic futures...

Sounds pretty punk rock to me.

Every single generation in the past 100 years has said the same thing. "My generation will fix it when we're in charge".

The God Damn boomers were the hippies from the 60s. What the fuck happened to peace and love?

My generation (Gen X), my goodness, we could see through all the bullshit. We're the original centrists.

Every single one of my children's Gen Z friends are all so woke they never sleep.

Turns out every generation is full of selfish shortsighted dumbasses just like the one before it. Just like "The Greatest Generation". Just like the boomers. Just like Gen X.

Faith in humanity...fading

Speak for yourself I'm a punk kid for life, at least my weight says so

I'm 43 and have been married for nearly 20 years. We are the old people now

I'm still a punk kid inside and as one I'm still raging against authority.

Young people have always had an abysmal voter turnout. Y’all need to vote, and not just the big ticket presidential elections. The state legislature elections are every bit as important, if not more important.

I’m a millennial. I’m well into my 40’s ffs.

Yeah we're middle aged punks now!

Yeah... We're punk adults now. 🤘
